UltraPort4 Express HD, UltraPort4 SI-LP, UltraPort8 SI and UltraPort8, UltraPort8 Express HD cards have a single VHDCI-68 connector on the back panel. It provides the signals for 4 or 8 serial ports.

A fan-out cable or connector box with the proper individual connectors can be plugged into the card to provide the desired interface. The port numbers will be identified on the interface connectors or connector box.

Note

The UltraPort fan-out cables and connector boxes need to be secured or supported in case of sudden contact or excessive weight on the cables. Please ensure that adequate caution is taken to avoid possible damage to the UltraPort card or Host system. This can be accomplished by securing the cable(s) to a rack or to the back of the server as shown below:
